Question

Giana lives in Milton. She bought a bus ticket to travel to her cousins house in Orlando. She gets on the bus in Mobile.The distance between two cities is 300 kilometers and the bus drives 70 kilometers per hour. If the bus is 30 kilometers away from Orlando, which of the following represents the number of hours (h) the bus has travelled.

Answer 1

To travel to Orlando is time=300/70=4.29 hours

x=hours traveller
Since there is 30 miles left in trip, the distance already traveled is 300-30=270

Set proportion
300/4.29=270/x
300x=(270)(4.29)
300x=1158.3
300/300x=1158.3/300
x≈3.86 hours ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆SOLUTION
